Palpation force modulation strategies to identify hard regions in soft tissue organs.

Palpation force modulation strategies to identify hard regions in soft tissue organs.

This paper presents experimental evidence for the existence of a set of unique force modulation strategies during manual soft tissue palpation to locate hard abnormalities such as tumors. We explore the active probing strategies of defined local areas and outline the role of force control. In additi...
